Kondakadalai Kara Kuzhambu recipe

I Like Saravana Bhavan hotel-style Kara Kuzhambu. This Kondakadalai kulambu is a version with homemade sambar powder and freshly ground coconut. protein-rich tasty one-pot kara kuzhambu. Chettinad sundal kulambu is flavorful.

how much puli should I use for the Kuzhambu recipe?

Though it is a puli kuzhambu (tamarind-based) recipe, the sourness of this particular Kuzhambu is from tamarind and tomatoes. The amount of tamarind depends on the sourness of the tamarind and tomatoes you use So Adjust the quantity according to the puli you use. Pulikaichal, puli aval, instant puli sadam are some of my tamarind based dishes

What kind of vegetables should I use?

I have used brinjal but a drumstick and potatoes can also be used. sundal puli kulambu tastes good with just garlic, onion, and tomato without any additional vegetable

Replacement for chilli powder 

You can use  Sambar powder instead of chili powder, coriander, and pepper. Adjust according to your taste

Color of the puli kuzhambu 

the color of the Kuzhambu depends on the sambar powder you use, tamarind, tomatoes, etc. 

shelf life of Kuzhambu 

puli based Kuzhambu variety generally stays good for 3-4 days but since we added coconut for this Kuzhambu it won’t stay

What should be the consistency of kara kuzhambu?

Adjust the water according to the consistency you desire.   I made slightly thick kuzhambu

Can I skip fennel seed?

Fennel seeds give amazing flavor to the kulambu so I would highly recommend it.
